King Vlad is anything but Democracy’s man of the hour.
Rather, à coup sûr, he’s really Stalin’s nasty little boy
who ironically parades "svoboda" and "glasnost" like

King Vlad’s political traditions and pronouncements 
are well-known among those who are sadly...

I'd rather be smart and never dumber
There is Morse code for each number.

In the Air
Trump let one rip at his rally
(You know Jan's keeping the tally)
On November third
No more whirlybird
Prison is right down his alley*

*Despite Barrett, Trump's 
Justice Department have failed to
block E. Jean Caroll's lawsuit
against the POTUS for raping her
in a department store dressing room!...

Got her copy of Rand-McNally
Geography teacher’s dream
Perfect fodder for a meme
Since new road maps are right up her alley.
